these  Steamers,  leaving  Boston  at  12.00 
o'clock,  noon,  Wednesday,  calling  at  Hali- 
fax, Port  Hawkesbury,  Pictou  and  Char- 
lottetown,  going  down;  remaining  at 
Charlotte  town  four  days,  giving  ample 
time  for  a  run  through  Prince  Edward 
Island,  truly  called  the  Garden  of  Eng- 
land, calling  at  Port  Hawkesbury  and 
Halifax  on  the  way  back,  and  arriving

second  Monday,  after  departure,  taking

short  ocean  voyage,  travels  1,500  miles, 
and  is  furnished  with  comfoi-table  state- 
room accommodations  and  excellent  board.

Particular  attention  has  been  given  to 
the  selection  of  the  officers  for  the  Steam- 
ships of  this  line,  and  they  are  instructed 
to  look  carefully  after  the  comfort  of 
the  passengers,  especially  Women  and  Chil- 
dren Travelling  Without  Escort. 

Excellent  board  can  be  obtained  on 
Prince  Edward  Island  at  very  low  prices, 
and  excursionists  can  stop  over  as  long 
as  they  please. 

Compare  our  rates  with  those  of  other 
lines  before  purchasing  elsewhere,  and 
remember  by  this  line  there  is  No  Change 
between  Boston,  Halifax,  Port  Hawkes- 
bury,   Pictou  and  Charlottetown. 

Those  who  are  fond  of  fishing  and 
gunning  will  find,  at  Cape  Breton,  new 
and  unfrequented  fields  of  sport. 

Quite  a  number  of  sportsmen,  availing 
themselves  of  this  fine  opportunity,  make 
a  yearly  excursion  to  the  island,  spend- 
ing several  weeks. 


ATTENTION  IS  CALLED 

TO  THE  FOLLOWING 

INTERESTING  POINTS, 


Trips  to  the  Provinces  are  becoming  more 
and  more  popular  every  year,  and  excursion- 
ists taking  one  of  the  steamships  of  this 
Line  (which  is  the  only  direct  one  to  Hali- 
fax, Port  Hawkesbury,  Cape  Breton  and 
Prince  Edward  Island),  sailing  from  Boston 
on  Wednesdays  of  each  week,  after  thirty 
hours'  delightful  sailing  arrive  at  Halifax, 
where  they  can  remain,  if  they  prefer,  until 
a  steamship  of  this  Line  touches  there  again 
on  her  return  to  Boston,  or  they  can  go  on, 
taking  the  whole  round  trip  for  a  very  mod- 
erate sum. 

If  our  traveller  decides  to  stop  at  Halifax 
he  can  secure  board  at  one  of  tlie  many 
hotels,  or  procure  a  good  home  in  a  comfort- 
able boarding  house  for  a  very  moderate 
sum. 

He  must  visit  the  Citadel,  take  an  hour 
to  admire  the  Public  Garden  (which  is  only 
equalled  by  the  Public  Garden  of  Boston), 
and  a  ride  through  the  Park,  over  the  N.W. 
Arm,  where  he  can  enjoy  a  view  of  the  mag- 
nificent harbor,  one  of  the  finest  in  the 
world.  He  will  avail  himself  of  the  pleasure 
of  the  most  delightful  drive  to  the  Four  Mile 
House,  and  on  the  shores  of  the  Bedford 
Basin.  Two  or  three  days  could  be  well 
spent  in  Halifax,  although  the  traveller 
could  get  an  excellent  idea  of  the  place  in 
one  day. 

Short  Excursions  irom  Halifax. 

One  day  will  be  well  spent  in  a  trip  to 
Truro,  a  town  of  more  than  four  thousand 
inhabitants,  situated  near  the  Basin  of 
Minas,  where  one  can  take  the  famous  drive 
which  commands  a  view  of  the  high  tides. 


A  Trip  to  Grand  Pre  and  the 
Gasperaux  River, 

as  connections  are  made  with  the  Windsor 
&  Annapolis  Railway  at  Halifax,  should  be 
taken.  The  cheapest  way  would  be  for  the 
tourist  to  buy  excursion  tickets  to  Halifax. 
This  is  the  famous  Acadia  I.and  of  Nova 
Scotia,  which  Longfellow  has  immortal- 
ized in  his  wonderful  poem.  One  feels 
truly  that  he  is  on  historic  ground,  and  all 
lovers  of  Nature  must  admire  the  vast  mead- 
ows, reclaimed  first  by  the  Acadians,  who 
were  so  cruelly  driven  from  their  homes. 
♦'There  in  the  midst  of  its  farms  reposed  the  Acadian 
village;  ,   „  ^     ,_      j 

Strongly  built  were  the  houses  with  frames  of  oak  and 

chestnut,  ,    ,    „    ,     .1. 

Such  as  the  peasants  of  Normandy  built  in  the  reign 

of  the  Henries;  ,    ,  , 

Thatched  were  the  roofs,  with  dormer-windows,  and 

gables  projecting  ^    ^   j  j  *v 

Ov-^r  the  baseOient  below  protected  and  shaded  the 

door- way ;  .  , 

There    in   the  tranquil  evenings   of  summer,  when 

brightly  the  sunset 
Lighted  the  village  street  and  gilded  the  vanes  of  the 

chimneys,  ^,^  ,  . 

Matrone  and  maidens  sat  in  snow-white  caps  and  m 

kirtles 
Scarlet  and  blue  and  green,  with  distaffs  spinning  the 

golden  ,  .        ,    .^, 

Flax  for  the  gossiping  looms  whose  noisy  shuttles 

within  doors 
Mingled  their  sound  with  the  whir  of  the  wheels  and 
the  songs  of  the  maidens." 

Cape  Breton. 

The  excursionist  must  not  fail  to  go  to 
Cape  Breton  Island,  where  lies  the  finest 
scenery  this  side  of  Scotland,— that  of  the 
Bras  d'Or  Lakes.  The  easiest  route  is  from 
Boston  to  Fort  Hawkesbury  by  steamship, 
and  thence  up  the  Bras  d'Or.  On  the  sail 
from  Halifax  to  Port  Hawkesbury  he  will 
have  a  view  of  the  rugged  headlands  of  the 
Nova  Scotia  coast.  He  will  pass  on  his  left 
Gape  Canso,  the  extreme  north-eastern  point 
of  Nova  Scotia.  The  sail  occupies  sixteen 
hours.  From  Hawkesbury  he  can  go  to 
Baddeck,  St.  Peter's,  Sydney,  or  any  other 
point  of  interest.  Excursion  tickets  can  be 
bought  in  Boston  for  these  places. 


Sydney  is  the  principal  town  of  Cape 
Breton.  Small  hotels  and  boarding  houses 
are  to  be  found  here.  The  steamers  on  the 
Bras  d'Or  make  daily  trips  in  the  summer. 

If  our  traveller  locates  at  Baddeck  he  can 
take  short  dailv  trips;  for  example,  to  St. 
Anne's  Bay.  The  ride  is  picturesque,  the 
sea  is  very  fine,  the  shore  bold,  the  air  invig- 
orating. Another  interesting  spot  is  Why- 
cocomagh.  One  can  go  by  steamer  or  by 
stage.  He  may  visit  St.  Peter's,  and  if  he 
has  time,  he  can  make  a  delightful  trip  to 
Margaree  River.  In  fact,  he  can  spend  two 
or  three  weeks  on  the  Island  of  Cape  Breton, 
there  are  so  many  pleasant  drives  to  take 
and  short  excursions  to  mako.  One  traveller 
says  :  "  Our  ten  days  at  Baddeck  were  cer- 
tainly some  of  the  pleasantest  I  ever  spent." 


Prince  Edward  Island. 

Should  our  tourist  wish  to  push  on  and 
take  in  the  beauty  of  Prince  Edward  Island, 
he  can  easily  go  by  local  conveyance  from 
Port  Hawkesbury  to  Charlotte  town,  and 
make  his  visit  there,  taking  the  steamship 
of  this  Line  from  Charlottetown  to  Boston 
direct.  This  will  affbrd  him  the  best  oppor- 
tunity to  admire  the  beauty  of  the  Northum- 
berland Straits.  "It  was  one  of  the  most 
delightful  days  of  my  life,"  said  one. 

The  quiet  and  undisturbedrepose  enhanced 
by  the  charm  of  the  delightful  scenery  will 
never  be  forgotten  by  those  who,  weary 
with  the  heat  and  turmoil  of  city  life,  give 
themselves  up  to  the  ti:anquil  enjoyment  of 
the  picturesque  and  beautiful  during  a  sum- 
mer's vacation  in  any  of  these  healthful  re- 
sorts in  the  Provinces,  where  rest  and  recu- 
peration for  mind  and  body  can  be  found 
either  among  the  hills  or  deep-green  woods 
of  the  country,  or  at  the  sea-shore,  bathing 
in  the  surf  and  inhaling  the  invigorating 
breezes  of  the  sea.
